Expand Limit On Council Terms

RESIDENTS OF Boynton Beach should vote YES Tuesday on a referendum that would allow members of the City Council to serve for three consecutive two- year terms.

In fact, the proposed charter change does not go far enough. A four-term limit would be preferable, but the three-term proposal certainly is a step in the right direction.

It takes time for new council members to learn their duties and to become effective in office. The current two term, four-year limit is not long enough. The additional two years provided by the proposed charter change would help provide Boynton Beach with more effective government.
